It appears as though luck favored you. The person who originally registered Sylveon already had an account, so I revoked the name from him (and banned it of course). So that's why you got a name change.

Is it considered bad to send a mod/admin a friend request? Just curious, and wanted to know if it was considered rude, because I know how busy they all are (especially Serebii and, well, all of them ).

EDIT: Who is SerebiiBot? And what exactly is an adbot? I've heard that they're bad (adbots), but SerebiiBot is good right? I'm confused!

No, it's not rude at all and many don't mind, but at the same time most mods (and many normal members are the same) won't accept random friend requests unless you've made the effort to talk to them. Don't get your hopes up on Serebii accepting your friend request though, he's said before that he has hundreds of pending friend requests :P

EDIT: Who is SerebiiBot?

SerebiiBot is a bot which makes a thread in the Serebii.net Updates section of the forum whenever Serebii posts a new update. You're free to discuss the updates in the relevant threads though most of the discussion takes place in whatever section the news is related to, for example 6th Generation Disc. if news about X & Y surfaces.

And what exactly is an adbot?

Adbots, also known as spambots, are bots which join forums and just spam ads, pretty much. If you see a post made by an adbot (it should be pretty obvious if you see one; their post probably won't make much sense and will contain heaps of links) just click the triangle at the bottom-left of their post to report it and it'll be deleted and the adbot banned.

I want to know, can mods/admins can read the PMs we send to other members? nya~

I don't think they can, no. You can forward a message to them and they can act on what you (or the other person) said as if you said it in a normal forum, but no I don't think they can snoop on their own...could be wrong though.

My 3DS Friend Code is 0576 3520 6954. I have both sun and moon version, and my sun version has my well trained and semi-competitive pokemon.

I have played and beaten all of the main series pokemon games at some point except for Silver, Crystal and Pearl versions, though the only ones I still have now are Sun, Moon, OR, AS, X, Black 2, Plat, FR and Emerald. I also have a virtual console yellow version. I also love XD Gale of Darkness.

I did a cursory search and didn't find anything, but sorry if this has an obvious answer. Is there any way to change your "Signature Permissions," as detailed on the page where you can edit your signature, to allow for use of proper HTML, or at least non "Basic" BB Code? If so, how? If not, what is the point of even displaying that information if you can't change it?

No. The point is that we're just simply not allowed to (or permitted to, hence signature permissions) use HTML or 'non-basic BB code' in signatures. The message is just displayed there so we're aware of that.

I have a question, it says it's 15 for a one week infraction, however at the top of the page when you come back it says that if you reach 20 points you'll be banned again, can someone clear this up for me??

Ever since the great upgrade last year, my email alerts (new messages, subscriptions updates, etc.) have been super wonky. Ex: not getting any, or getting some like MONTHS late.

Is this everyone or just me?

Its' a known issue, but I'm thinking of asking Serebii to look in to it again.. as I'm getting messages from the 8th.

That's the old rules there. Unless you drop below 15 active points, or get 30 Active points, you won't be banned again. That is assuming a Custom ban is not given out.

I asked Serebii about the email thing awhile ago and he said he has no control on that.

So I have 17 right now, I can get up to 30 before I'm banned again unless some expire and I'm below 15??

Yeah, you're fine until either:
a) you rack up more infractions and hit 30 active points, giving you a two-week ban, or:
b) some expire and you drop back below 15, and then you reach 15 again, giving you a one-week ban.
